Objectives: Studies performed in the medical area have shown that an indirect diagnosis of bone mineral density (BMD) is feasible by assessing the amount of bone marrow fat with non-ionizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In dentistry, radiographic methods are still the most used for alveolar bone diagnosis. The present literature review aimed at addressing the role of MRI in assessing BMD in medicine and dentistry.
Methods: MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for articles published up to 2019.
Results: A total of 428 potentially eligible papers were screened. Of these, 397 were excluded after title, abstract and keyword assessment, yielding 31 papers that potentially met the inclusion criteria. Eleven studies were then excluded because their full texts did not discuss the role of MRI in the indirect diagnosis of BMD. As a result, a total of 20 studies were finally identified as eligible for inclusion in this literature review. Most studies found satisfactory accuracy of MRI for indirectly assessing BMD by quantifying bone mineral fat (BMF). However, only one of these studies was on dentistry.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the present findings suggest that MRI is accurate to indirectly estimate bone density by assessing BMF, and could be clinically relevant during dental treatment planning.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that increases fragility fracture risk. Conventional DXA-based areal bone mineral density (aBMD) assessments often underestimate this risk. Cortical Backscatter (CortBS) ultrasound, a radiation-free technique, non-invasively analyzes cortical bone's viscoelastic and microstructural properties.

Background: Previous studies have shown that bone mineral density (BMD) has a certain impact on scoliosis. However, up to now, there is no clear evidence that there is a causal association between the two. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a causal association between BMD at different body positions and scoliosis by two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR).

Purpose: To assess bone mineral density (BMD) in middle-aged individuals in Shanghai, in order to improve awareness of osteopenia and osteoporosis screening.
Methods: The clinical data of 1107 permanent residents of Shanghai aged 40-60 years were collected using a random cluster sampling method. Osteoporosis questionnaire survey and BMD test were conducted.

Purpose: The goal of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in young orthopedic trauma patients and its impact on bone mineral density (BMD) measured through computed tomography imaging of the lumbar spine.
Methods: Conducted at a level I trauma center, this prospective cross-sectional analysis included 100 patients aged 18 to 50 years with non-fragility fractures. Vitamin D levels and Hounsfield units of the lumbar spine were recorded from computed tomography scans.
